Transcript Reports

… takes stock of the directives issued by the EU Commission that
have a direct impact on physiotherapy education. EU Directives have
a direct influence on higher educational institutions. The first subject
to be looked at was “Ranking”.
In ENPHE spring seminar in Vilnius, Lithuania,
14-15 March 2013 the group decided to focus on ESCO.
The European Commission is developing a European Skills, Competences
and Occupations taxonomy (ESCO), which will describe the most relevant
skills, competences and qualifications needed for several thousand
occupations. Once finalized, ESCO will be the first classification of it’s
kind available in all EU languages.
You can read more about ESCO from:

In ENPHE seminar in Lahti (3.-5.10.2013) we talked in
a workshop about:
What competencies,
(* theoretical knowledge, skills, attitudes
* knowing, doing, beeing)
should the graduating
physiotherapists have in 2020?
Results of the brainstorming session:
•
•
•
•
Difference of core and general competences
Skills to do assessment based on clinical reasoning on
Bachelor and master levels
More focus on e-health and technology, communication
skills, health promotion, promoting chancing life style
and managing in differences in health perception
Broad scope on patients problems, understanding the
patients rights and environment
– Patients as a participant of Health Care Teams sharing the decision
making
•
We need to put focus on:
–
–
–
–
Entrepreneurship
Cultural diversity
Evidence based physiotherapy
Continuous professional development
•
•
We need to develop national guidelines
We need to clarify the “job” profile as a starting point to
the learning outcomes
•
We need to clarify the core areas of sports coaches,
personal trainers, physiotherapists, nurses, occupational
therapists …
•
Description of PT-special competences are needed!!
